FedTech, a venture-building platform specializing in breakthrough technologies, is collaborating with Northrop Grumman Aeronautics Systems to launch a technology accelerator program providing eight companies with opportunities to participate in mentorship, education, and strategic exposure with Northrop Grumman.
Over the course of ten weeks, the accelerator will aim to develop synergies between Northrop Grumman Aeronautics Systems and the cohort companies, with the end goal of bringing their technologies into tangible collaboration and impact for the warfighter.

The advanced technology focus areas for the Northrop Grumman technology accelerator are Artificial Intelligence (AI), Autonomy, Advanced Flight Hardware and an open topic area for relevant breakthrough technologies. Companies with aligned technologies interested in participating in the program can now apply through November 25.
